Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at the Animas River Cabin. It was very quiet and yet close to Durango downtown. We also enjoyed the fire pit next to the river. The manager was very helpful during our check-in. I would rent this cabin again next time back.

Great Place!

We were very happy staying at this rental. We asked to stay an extra day because the location was great for fall fishing, and the management was very responsive and accommodating. We enjoyed 'smores on the firepit and made use of one of the two grills. Nice to have laundry available as well. The kitchen is kind of small, but it met our needs nicely. We will be back if at all possible.

Great place close to town

We stayed here for several days while our house was under construction. The house is wonderfully located in a secluded spot right on the river but is also close to town as well as great retail options. The host is terrifically accommodating, and the house is very clean and well furnished, in a cute and casual style. The outdoor space is beautiful with a view of the river. Visitors should be aware there is a set of stairs between the master bedroom/main living area and the kitchen/dining area.

Quiet Getaway

This rental is close to businesses and restaurants, but it feels like it is much further out in the countryside. I enjoyed walking down to the river each morning. Internet was fast for streaming with no lag. I knew this when I booked it, but the kitchen is on the second floor. If my knees stay good, I plan on staying at this rental again.

Beautiful setting

Property location very private, right on the Animas River. Property management was extremely responsive to our every need. Living room is downstairs and kitchen is upstairs. We would have liked to have a king bed upstairs in the large bedroom, but there were twin beds.
